People likely experienced weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Mexico, Mexico City, 748 km (465 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake could not be felt.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry85 km (53 mi)NE of epicenterEl Yahital (Barra el Mapache)(pop: 23)III: WeakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico86 km (54 mi)NE of epicenterEl Palmarcito(pop: 1,140)III: WeakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico86 km (54 mi)NE of epicenterLa Conquista(pop: 473)III: WeakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico90 km (56 mi)NE of epicenterBarrita de Pajon(pop: 375)III: WeakMapastepec, Estado de ChiapasMexico94 km (58 mi)NE of epicenterLa Piaña(pop: 118)III: WeakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico96 km (59 mi)NE of epicenterLas Brisas(pop: 1,720)III: WeakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico97 km (60 mi)NE of epicenterSan Dieguito(pop: 10)III: WeakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico101 km (63 mi)NE of epicenterPijijiapan(pop: 16,900)III: WeakEstado de ChiapasMexico104 km (64 mi)NE of epicenterEl Naranjo (El Desierto la Parada)(pop: 29)III: WeakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico748 km (465 mi)NW of epicenterMexico City(pop: 12,294,200)I: Not feltCiudad de MexicoMexicoNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 3 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)2025-11-04 16:55:0713 minutes ago4.58 km0 km - This quakeMexico: 94 km Al Sur De Buenavista, MéxicoMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 963 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.12 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 8.5 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 3.7 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 277 quakes per year (or 23.1 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 960 quakes per year (or 80 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 961 quakes per year (or 80 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 15 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
